Civil Engineering
Whether locks, tunnels or power stations: ZÜBLIN reliably implements complex projects in structural engineering and engineering ground works.
Structural Engineering
Structural engineering includes technically demanding structures above ground level, such as bridges, towers, industrial halls or complex buildings with special static and structural requirements. The focus is on structural design, material technology and architectural integration.
Our service areas in Structural Engineering
ZÜBLIN builds sophisticated industrial plants and hall structures – from production and logistics centers to complex power plants with solid steel structures. In structural engineering, we combine technical know-how, modern planning methods and customized solutions for industrial requirements. Whether new construction, expansion or modernization.
Newbuilds for production, infrastructure and research
ZÜBLIN plans and builds industrial halls, power plants and research centers that are precisely tailored to operational processes. Our solutions combine technical precision with economic efficiency – from concept development to turnkey handover.
Expansion and modernization of existing industrial sites
We provide holistic support for industrial projects and ensure that expansions and modernizations are implemented smoothly during ongoing operations. We rely on digital planning (BIM, LEAN) and sustainable construction methods to ensure efficiency and future viability.
Professional bridge construction for sustainable and efficient traffic routes
In partnership with our parent company STRABAG, we realize challenging bridge construction projects in a wide variety of designs. By combining the expertise of STRABAG and ZÜBLIN in infrastructure and traffic route construction, we offer our clients a comprehensive range of bridge construction services from a single source. With technical expertise, modern construction technology and high execution quality, we create safe, economical and environmentally friendly connections across rivers, valleys and other topographical challenges. We combine the engineering expertise of ZÜBLIN with the experience and competence of the STRABAG Bridge Construction Directorate.
Sustainability & digital planning in Structural Engineering
Our building construction projects focus on energy-efficient building concepts, sustainable and resource-conserving materials and intelligent building technology for maximum comfort and cost-effectiveness. By using digital methods such as BIM and LEAN Construction, we reduce interfaces, increase planning quality and ensure transparent collaboration between all parties involved. Implementation is carried out in accordance with recognized national and international certification standards (e.g. DGNB, LEED).
Engineering Ground Works
Engineering ground works refers to structures below or at ground level that are crucial for infrastructure and supply, such as tunnels, roads, locks, dams or foundation structures. The focus here is on earthworks, foundations and geotechnical solutions.
Service fields in Engineering Ground Works
As a reliable partner for pioneering infrastructure projects, we offer a comprehensive range of engineering ground works services. Whether railroad stations and stops, locks, cut-and-cover tunnels or trough structures: precision is one of our key components.
New construction in Engineering Ground Works
When building new ground civil engineering structures, the focus is on designing supporting structures and building structures in such a way that they can withstand the subsequent static and functional requirements in the long term. For each project, ZÜBLIN develops a technically sound construction concept that optimally coordinates the geological conditions, construction site logistics, use of materials and construction methods. Close integration of structural analysis, execution planning and construction organization ensures that structures are built precisely and that the required load-bearing capacities and serviceability are reliably achieved.
Upgrading & modernisation of existing Ground Civil Engineering Structures
Retrofitting in engineering ground works requires in-depth analyses and structural engineering expertise, as existing structures often have to be adapted or reinforced while still in use. ZÜBLIN examines the structural condition, determines the relevant load assumptions and designs cost-effective packages of measures based on this – from maintaining the structure to functional expansion. Thanks to precise interventions, optimised construction sequence models and coordinated construction techniques, the infrastructure remains safe to use even during the modernization phase and is upgraded for future requirements.
Stations & Stops
Our range of services in station engineering extends from barrier-free platforms, tunnels and slab tracks to sophisticated supporting structures for station roofs.
We implement new routes, expand existing networks and modernize stops – in an interdisciplinary manner and in close coordination with clients and partners.
Locks
ZÜBLIN plans and builds complex lock systems as part of modern waterway infrastructure: new construction and upgrades including excavation pits, navigation basins, forebays, sheet piling and canal connections.
We master special challenges such as construction work during ongoing shipping operations, groundwater conditions and great depths with technical expertise and many years of experience.
Trough structures
ZÜBLIN realises sophisticated trough structures – lowered, trough-shaped ground civil engineering structures – for road and rail projects, tunnel connections and complex inner-city infrastructures that meet the highest design requirements. With technical expertise, innovative construction methods and precise execution, we create durable, economical solutions in modern engineering ground works.
Sustainability & efficiency in Engineering Ground Works
In engineering ground works, we focus on holistic planning, durable and resistant constructions as well as energy-efficient construction and operating technology in order to minimize maintenance and operating costs in the long term. Digital tools such as BIM and LEAN-optimized processes ensure efficiency and transparency over the entire life cycle - even for complex infrastructure projects such as tunnels or traffic routes. Our solutions are future-proof, safe and economical.
